FAQ
Can I develop iOS apps without a Mac?
You can learn Swift on Windows or Linux using online compilers, but for real projects you will eventually need a Mac. Start with Flutter or Android — no Mac needed.
Flutter or React Native for beginners?
Flutter has better documentation and performance. Choose React Native only if you already know JavaScript well.
